Over 711,000 Migrants Return to Afghanistan Through Islam Qala Border in One Month

Kokcha News Agency – According to officials from the Migrant Affairs Committee in Herat Province, a significant number of migrants have returned to Afghanistan in the past month. From the start of the current month until now, 711,108 migrants have crossed into Afghanistan through the Islam Qala border in Herat.

The Islam Qala border, one of the busiest crossings between Afghanistan and Iran, has seen a surge in returning migrants, many of whom are Afghan nationals who had previously left the country in search of better opportunities. The influx of returnees comes amid ongoing economic challenges and security concerns in the region.

Local authorities have been working to manage the flow of migrants, providing basic assistance and facilitating their reintegration into Afghan society. However, the large number of returnees has placed additional strain on already limited resources and infrastructure in Herat and other provinces.

• 711,108 migrants have returned to Afghanistan through the Islam Qala border in Herat since the beginning of the current month.
• The returnees include Afghan nationals who had previously migrated to Iran and other countries.
